The new Honda Amaze will launch in this year end, featuring a redesigned look, a 1.2-liter petrol engine, and both manual and CVT options.
Date: August 6, 2024New Delhi- Honda Motor Co., Ltd., An automotive manufacturer is set to launch the next-generation Honda Amaze in December 2024, with deliveries beginning in January 2025. The launch, originally planned for the festive season, has been delayed. This new model will introduce the third generation of the Amaze, replacing the well-received second generation that has been on the market since 2018.
The upcoming Amaze will feature a comprehensive redesign, with a fresh look both inside and out. It will be built on a tweaked version of the platform used by the Honda City and Elevate. To fit the sub-four-meter length category, the Amaze will have a shorter wheelbase compared to the City and Elevate, which are 2600 mm and 2650 mm, respectively. The current Amaze has a wheelbase of 2470 mm, and the new model is expected to have a similar measurement, aligning with the compact sedan standards in India.
The next-gen Honda Amaze will be powered by a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine, generating 90 horsepower and 110 Nm of torque and will be available with a 5-speed manual or a CVT automatic transmission. This new Amaze will be offered exclusively with petrol engines, following Honda’s decision to end diesel engine production in India.
Simultaneously, Honda is working on a new PF2 platform, set to support upcoming models such as SUVs, compact electric vehicles, and the next-gen City sedan. This versatile platform will be designed to support various powertrains, including hybrid and electric options. Additionally, Honda is developing a new three-row SUV, with contributions from its R&D facilities in Japan and Thailand, and input from Honda Cars India.
